This seems to me like it may be a version of the knapsack problem: I have a list of rectangles of varying sizes that I want to place within a field without overlapping or grouping similar sizes.
Would it be correct to start looking in the knapsack direction?
Thanks.
yes, thats some the same kind of problem like the knapsack-problem – it’s more difficult because you have to take care of 2 dimensions, not just one – but with looking for the knapsack-problem, you’re on the right way.
